Rise of the blood elves

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the Tomb of Faao.

Everyone has arrived except Lafayette.Unable to resist Jaina's persuasion, Dathrohan and Luo Ning still took time out of their busy schedules to come.

Now the war situation has become a mess. The main force of Alsace heading south has arrived in the area near the Holy Light's Hope Chapel. It has not launched any serious offensive at all. It only relies on the following army of resurrections to completely repulse the defenders there. army, forcing them to retreat eastward to the coastal areas.

During this time, both of them were busy with their work in the Alliance High Command.

Ronin assumes the role of frontline liaison officer for the mages of Dalaran.The mages who had been persuaded by Angmar to go out to investigate the possible existence of the Burning Legion behind the natural disaster were all placed under his jurisdiction, and the intelligence was also compiled by him, making them extremely busy.

Dathrohan, who is responsible for acting as the acting leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, is responsible for more specific defense issues and is only busier than Ronin.

When they saw Archbishop Faol, both Jaina and Luo Ning were startled and almost acted irrationally. After Dathrohan explained for a long time, the two of them calmed down a little.The acting head of the Knights then cast an angry look at Angmar, as if to say, "How can outsiders know about the existence of Teacher Faao?"

"This is how Archbishop Faol was rescued. Master Luo Ning, Jaina, you can rest assured that the Archbishop has completely escaped the Lich King's mental control."

After Dathrohan explained the reason for the awakening of Archbishop Faol's self-will, Angmar added another sentence, but it seemed that Ronin and Jaina were still a little doubtful. It was not until Archbishop Faol reached out and summoned a beam of holy light that the two of them finally understood. rest assured.

Although Angmar knew that being able to use the Holy Light did not mean that he was not evil in his heart, it was enough to convince the two of them.

Even Angmar was shocked when he saw Archbishop Fao again. He was "thinner" than that day, with almost no flesh and blood left on his body, and bone stubble was exposed in many places.

Angmar didn't know the specific process of "purification". He just listened to Lana'thel's general explanation and learned that the holy light summoned by Tirion and Dathrohan would inevitably cause harm to the undead, and the resurrected The archbishop just endured the burning that penetrated his soul to regain his consciousness, and he felt nothing but admiration in his heart.

"The reason why I summon you all today is"

Angmar was about to explain his purpose when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away, and saw a gray-haired figure coming nearby, reining in his horse and pedaling, and nodded deeply to him.

"Tirion" Dathrohan immediately greeted him, "Thanks to the Holy Light, you are finally here."

"Lord Tirion." Ronin and Jaina both bowed and saluted. Both of them were sensible people, and they came from relatively neutral Dalaran. They naturally understood the right and wrong of Lafayette's exile, so they did not regard it as such. He was regarded as a traitor by ordinary people. When it came to dealing with the orcs, Dalaran's position was indeed neutral. Antonidas even researched and found a way to cure the orcs' narcolepsy, and published a large number of related papers.

A smile seemed to bloom on the undead face of Archbishop Fao, but it looked a bit scary.

Angmar bowed respectfully to Tirion, and then said: "Everyone, the Scourge is coming fiercely. I have called you together today to provide you with information on three artifacts that are powerful enough to fight against the Scourge."

"Artifact" Luo Ning lost his voice. As a high-ranking mage, no one understands the meaning of the word "artifact" better than them.

Angmar looked around, taking in the expressions on everyone's faces.

He nodded and said: "That's right. The exact clues to the first two artifacts come from ancient legends that have been circulating for a long time. It is said that Tirisfal Glades, also known as Tyr's Fall, was created when the ancient Titan Guardian Tyr fell here. It got its name, but in fact it is not just a legend, but a fact. His tomb is on the mesa west of Tirisfal Glades, and there are two powerful artifacts sealed in it.

One of them is Tyr's weapon. The warhammer named Silver Hand is not his silver arm, but it has the same name. It contains powerful power of order and is perfectly compatible with the Holy Light. In terms of the increase of the Holy Light, it is comparable to the Holy Light. Ashbringer is even more powerful than Frostmourne in Arthas' hands.This is why I asked Lord Dathrohan and Tirion to come. "

Everyone was shocked. Arthas had led the Scourge in Lordaeron for so long, and information about the magic blade in his hand was pouring in. Who didn't know that Frostmourne was a powerful and superior weapon? What a shocking and terrifying power it has

Dathrohan glanced at Tirion in disbelief. As a colleague of Alexandros Mograine, he was well aware of the power of the Ashbringer in the latter's hands.He believed that if the artifact was as Angmar said, not only more powerful than Frostmourne, but also comparable to the Ashbringer in amplifying the Holy Light, it would be a natural disaster weapon.

"The second artifact is the weapon of Thoradin the Great, known as the war destroyer. It is said that this king died in the Tomb of Tyr in his later years while exploring the origin of mankind. Master Ronin and Ji Miss Anna should be familiar with this legend, because some of the first hundred mages of mankind participated in that battle. The description of that battle must have been mentioned in the secrets collected in Dalaran.

As long as you can find the location of Tyr's Tomb, you can get these two artifacts.Of course, Stromkar cannot be compared with the Silver Hand, but because it has drunk the blood of trolls, it has become a weapon that the trolls fear.Regarding the current situation of our clan, the Amani trolls are eagerly watching and trying to take advantage of the situation. I hope to bring them back to the clan to fight against Zul'Aman's invasion. "

"What about the third artifact?" Jaina couldn't help but ask.

Angmar turned his attention to Archbishop Fao and said meaningfully: "Everyone is familiar with the story of the third artifact. A few years ago, the outlier in the church, Bishop Natalie Serling, who promoted the theory of light and shadow balance, It is its last holder, it has nothing to do with the Tomb of Tire, but it is related to the Archbishop of Faol."

According to official history, the current Blade of the Dark Empire of Xalatath has disappeared without a trace with the death of Natalie. Benedictus, Archbishop Fao's favorite disciple and successor as the new Archbishop, is sorting out Natalie's affairs. He discovered it as a relic and hid it instead.

Perhaps the eventually corrupted Father Twilight was still a good person at that time, and he hid himself out of fear that he would harm the world.Or maybe he fell because he came into contact with it, but he didn't hold it because he couldn't control its power.

No one can say what happened.

The Dark Empire Blade of Xal'atath appeared in the Tomb of Tyr, brought by a Twilight Hammer member many years later in order to absorb the power of X'eraki General Zarkaz, who was killed by the mortal warrior hero. The body, Benedictus had been dead for a long, long time by that time, was not in the tomb at all.

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

Of course they are no strangers. Everyone present has a distant or close relationship with Natalie. Faol is the archbishop of the church and disagrees with Bishop Natalie and her doctrines. Dathrohan and Tirion are in the same situation. This is especially true for the Knights of the Silver Hand.

After Natalie's death, all the books she wrote were sealed by Ronin and Dalaran, where Jaina was born, so as not to lead people astray. After all, in the face of the more negative energy of the Shadow, not everyone can Have such good self-control ability.

"Yes, it's called the Blade of the Dark Empire of Xal'atath. It was formed from the claws of the ancient gods. It has an evil sense of autonomy and will corrupt the holder. It was once possessed by Thaurissan, the King of the Dark Iron Dwarves. The Emperor's wife, Modgud, was the culprit that caused Grim Batol to be eroded by darkness. After the death of its owner, Thaurissan developed negative emotions, summoned the Fire Lord, and let the Black Iron The dwarves fell into the fate of being enslaved. In the end, this artifact was accidentally obtained by Natalie, and she began to study the void and shadow."

Angmar looked at Archbishop Fao with deep meaning, "Archbishop, as far as I know, after Bishop Natalie died, your beloved disciple Benedictus got it and hid it."

"This is the right move," Dathrohan interjected. "Such an evil artifact will definitely bring disaster to the world if it ever sees the light of day again."

Angmar shook his head, "No, Lord Dathrohan. In terms of power, Xal'atath is the most powerful of these three artifacts. If used properly, it will definitely play a role in fighting against natural disasters." The effect is beyond imagination. Perhaps its dark whispers will corrupt people's hearts, but I think no one knows how to fight mind control better than Archbishop Fao."

Everyone looked at Archbishop Fao, who frowned. In fact, the Archbishop had no eyebrows, and even his brow bones were exposed. He pondered for a moment, then raised his head after a while and said with certainty: "If it can become a weapon against the Scourge, we must find it. It, I am willing to be its holder to fight against the whispers in my mind, I still have some experience.”

Dathrohan couldn't help but nod when he heard this. He trusted the teacher who had led him to the path of Holy Light, and he also knew how strong the latter's willpower was.

Angmar let out a sigh of relief. Gameplay is gameplay. In history, no creature holding "Xalatath" had a good ending.In addition to not having the ability to bind souls, it is simply not Frostmourne, but better than Frostmourne.

And Archbishop Fa'ao, who was able to get rid of the Lich King's mental control by his own will, is undoubtedly the best candidate to hold it.

"Angma, where did you get these secrets? Even the secrets of artifacts collected in Dalaran over the years are not as detailed as you know. You really surprised me." Luo Ning smiled bitterly.

Angmar said: "Master Luo Ning, everything I said is true. All we need to understand is that these three artifacts can indeed help us fight against natural disasters. That's enough."

"Well, except for the clues about Xalatas, which require direct contact with Archbishop Benedictus, how are we going to find the remaining two artifacts?"

Angmar couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The western mountains of Tirisfal Glades are extremely vast, and the location of Tyr's Tomb is not as conspicuous as it is in the game.If you really look for it with blind eyes, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He thought for a while and said to Ronin: "The Guards of Tyr, a secret organization that strictly guards the secret of the Tomb of Tyr. They know the exact location of the tomb. I think, since the ancestors of the founders of Dalaran, there were people He entered there with Emperor Thoradin and came out alive. He should have been in contact with that organization and left specific information about the location of the tomb. Both of these points can be used as clues to track down."

Luo Ning and Jaina looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"We will investigate when we get back."

Dalaran, which has collected almost all the secrets of knowledge in the continent, is undoubtedly the best at investigating some ancient secrets.

Dathrohan suddenly slapped his right hand on his chest and said sincerely: "Envoy of Angmar, regardless of whether the information is true or not, I want to thank you for your selfless sharing on behalf of the Alliance. And I haven't had the chance to thank you for Faol. Everything the teacher did, I will keep in mind.”

After saying that, the giant man who was just over two meters tall bowed deeply. Angmar hurriedly endured the pain of the wound on his left chest, walked over quickly to help him up, and said, "No need to thank me, Lord Dathrohan." , it is right to save Lord Faao, and the rest is the instruction of His Highness the Prince. His Highness knows very well that only in the hands of the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Church can those two artifacts be put to full use, and they will definitely be used for the alliance. It was of great help to the war effort.”

He made up a lie and directed the newly gained goodwill towards Kael'thas.

"My child, your words really convinced me. I also want to express my gratitude to you. I will search for the artifact with you. After that," Tirion turned to Dathrohan, "I hope to return to the Knights of the Silver Hand. Regiment, continue to fight on the front line to protect the people. As the commander of the regiment, do you still accept me?"

"What have you finally figured out? Hahaha, you made me owe this kid a favor again."

Dathrohan punched Tirion hard in the chest, and the two looked at each other and immediately started laughing.

"Then, Master Luo Ning, Miss Jaina, I will trouble you two more. Please find out the location of Tyr's Tomb as soon as possible, so that we can set off as soon as possible. As for Xal'atath, we have to trouble the two of you. Contacted Archbishop Benedictus who is far away in Stormwind Kingdom.”
